Ref:  6813

A wonderfully colourful reverse painted icon on glass of Mother (Virgin) & Child (Jesus)in the original stained pine frame with metal hook. These were made by untrained peasant artists and were copies done free hand in paint of dour religious prints, they sold them at markets to brighten the homes of the country dwellers, a genuine folk art, and a not very religious religious art.
